What the hell else were you guys wanting?

I just would like to see a DE drafted.

Going into the season with Bobby Richardson as the starter is a joke. Highly doubt we will find a starter in the 5th round.

Payton said that Kikaha is moving to DE this year. Richardson is not slated to be a starter. Starting DE's will be Jordan and Kikaha.

In passing situations that would be outstanding, I just don't think Kikaha can hold the edge against the run... Maybe he is adding a bit of weight though.

Payton said he would be used as the "Jack" DE, the position Jordan played last year.

The edge DE pass rusher is already on the roster.

I don't recall him stating that specifically. I do remember him saying that he'll be used more on the LOS.

"Saints head coach Sean Payton confirmed that thought process at the owner’s meeting this past Tuesday, saying that Kikaha could see a lot of action at the “Jack” defensive end spot, where Cam Jordan played last year."

And Galette before Jordan. I'm pretty geeked about the draft so far.
Colston's replacement. The new Norman Hand. Now the Jairus Bird we wanted.

That should suit him well. he excels at attacking and getting through the wash and into the back field.
